Synopsis

A ballerina’s classical training is frequently interrupted by the heavy noise from a nearby hip-hop square. This leads to a showdown of dancing genres, as both ballet and street dancers try to outdo one another. The ballerina then falls for the lead B-boy, and gradually grows into his world, becoming a hip-hop dancer herself in the final scene.
